Wilson said he stopped Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson for walking in the middle of the street. After a struggle with the cruiser door, Wilson claimed that Brown punched him in the face and came into his car. He also described two other punches that Brown allegedly threw.

Wilson has hidden from public view since the August shooting, which sparked large-scale protests in the St. Louis suburb. Demonstrators took to the streets again Monday night after the grand jury announced its decision not to indict Wilson.
